Evolution of NRL Outside Backs Roles

The significance of outside backs in the NRL has increased dramatically in recent years on both offensive and defensive fronts.

Once upon a time, wingers primarily had the role of finishing off plays, and centres were often considered easily replaceable.

However, today's game demands that wingers not only finish, but also make strong runs, initiate sets effectively, break tackles, and demonstrate top-notch passing skills.

Centres, too, hold a crucial position, especially when it comes to defensive strategies.

Below, you will find a ranking of the centres and wingers from each club.
